O’Donnell now writes: ‘I apologize to @MELANIATRUMP – I was insensitive in my RT.’

O’Donnell, who has been engaged in a 10-year feud with Trump, suffered backlash in the days that followed for speculating about a 10-year-old child.

In a recent blog post, O’Donnell shared that she ‘tweeted from my heart’ and revealed that her three-and-a-half-year-old daughter Dakota was diagnosed in September with high functioning autism.

‘This autism subject had nothing to do with Donald though I admit he does trigger me in all ways,’ she wrote then. ‘I have no ill will for his children – or any children – and if you knew anything about me you would know that.’
